Indica vs Sativa

October 29, 2019 by admin

So many flavors, so many choices, but whats good for me?

With so many altered genetics and different strains popping up, its hard to find the right one for your symptoms. There are two main categories. Indica (tend to induce sedating effects) and Sativa (more uplifting head high). Let look deeper into the difference of both strains.[image src=”” size=”” width=”500″ height=”500″ align=”center” stretch=”0″ border=”0″ margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” link_image=”” link=”” target=”” hover=”” alt=”” caption=”” greyscale=”” animate=””]

Sativa

Sativa plants are known to be extremely pungent smelling, with aromas ranging from sweet and fruity, to earthy with undertones of diesel fuel. Sativa strains are known to produce an uplifting and cerebral high that is typically very energizing and stimulating. Sativa are known to make you laugh uncontrollably or engage in in-depth conversations about the meaning of life. These strains typically cause you to analyze the human experience and think creatively, which makes Cannabis Sativa very popular among philosophers, artists and musicians. Some Sativa even have been found to enhance lights and sounds, making music, movies, and the rest of your surroundings more vibrant than ever before.

Cannabis Sativa are particularly effective in treating mental and behavioral issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

Many of our favorite sativa strains such as Super Sour Diesel, NYC Diesel, Green Crack, or Chem x Jack Herer. Provide strong cerebral effects that ease into a deep, full-body relaxation over time. Patients looking for the perfect morning medication or daytime relief could benefit from accompanying their breakfast or lunch with a vaporizer packed withNYC Dieselor Sour Diesel. Both of these strains are known to give you a long lasting, clear-head (sometimes cerebral) that will leave you uplifted and energetic.

Indica

Indica strains are very relaxing and narcotic-like, typically providing a full-body, or “couch-locked” effect. Indica are perfect for those days spent curled up on the couch watching TV, or surfing the web. However, most people seek Cannabis Indica after a long day at work to relieve stress, provide full-body pain relief, and help them fall asleep at night. The flavors and smells of Cannabis Indica include; pine, pungent skunk, earth, hash, or a sweet and sugary fruit flavor.

Indicas are ideal for chronic pain, muscle spasms, anxiety, nausea, appetite stimulation, and sleep deprivation. Individuals who suffer from diseases like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, lupus, sleep apnea and insomnia tend to benefit from the effects of Cannabis Indica. Patients looking for the ideal Indica to put you straight to sleep should consider trying any strain with OG or Kush in its genetics; our favorite night-time strains include Cypress OG, Gorilla Glue, and any cookie strain. All of which provide significant pain relieve coupled with heavy sedative effects.

Hybrids

There are a wide range of cannabis strains in between Indica and Sativa. These strains are known as “Hybrids” and show traits directly related to the genetics in its lineage. Hybrids can be broken down into three basic categories:

Sativa-dominant Hybrids: Cerebral high with a relaxing body effect. Provides physical and mental relief.
Even Hybrids (50/50): Ideal strains for people seeking a perfect balance of head and body.
Indica-dominant Hybrids: These strains provide a full-body pain relief, with a relaxing head high. Recommended for nighttime use to go to sleep, or daytime relief from minor pain. These strains are perfect for patients who suffer from all types of autoimmune diseases as well as insomnia or depression.
